Am I made of paper
Am I made of vapor
Cause I seem to wound so easily
While being indestructible at the same time
Am I made of lead paint a bulletproof Picasso?
Never able to be killed just deforming with the stones and arrows shot my way
I’m covered in scars and trauma
But still, I go on and on
Like the energizer bunny
I don’t stop
Like an idea immortalized in a book
Banned though it may be
There is no stopping me
I’ve been made and unmade but still I continue on
Was I always this way
No, I used to care about the words thrown my way
And tear like a paper target at a gun range
They used to hurt and deform my view of myself
But then I stopped caring about them
Now I’m a lead paint bulletproof Picasso hanging on the shooting range
Taking all the hits and deforming but never breaking
I’m not made of vapor or paper anymore
I’m the dueling tree on the gun range indestructible
Receiving potshots from the ether
But never surrendering
Screaming into the void that the opinions of others don’t matter
The only opinions that matter is those of the ones you love
Everyone else’s opinion isn’t worth anything
Become a lead paint bulletproof Picasso with me.
